1. Consult
We visit your Vienna home and look at the bathroom with you: what works, what does not, who uses it and when. We note where the plumbing runs, whether there is a fan and where it discharges, the condition of the floor and anything that hints at past leaks. In an older house we also look at the room below or the attic above for clues.
Your part: bring a short list of the three things that bother you most, a rough budget range and photos of bathrooms you like. It also helps to know whether your property is inside the Town of Vienna limits, since that affects whether a Town zoning submission is ever needed.
2. Design
We develop the layout, the fixture plan and the material direction, and turn them into a written scope. This is where decisions like moving the shower, adding a second sink or building storage into a wall are made, because they drive plumbing, electrical and permits.
Your part: read the scope line by line. Ask what is included and what is not. If anything is an allowance rather than a specific product, make sure you know the amount.
3. Select
Tile, vanity, countertop, faucets, toilet, glass and lighting are finalized before demolition, so materials are on hand when the crew needs them. Bathroom Brigade installs products from brands such as Kohler, American Standard, Moen, Daltile and Schluter.
Your part: make selections on time. Late changes are the most common reason a bathroom sits torn out longer than planned.
4. Build
Demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finish work. Where the scope needs Fairfax County permits, rough-in inspections happen while the walls are open and a final inspection happens at the end.
Your part: clear the bathroom and the path to it, keep children and pets out of the work area, and tell us right away if access to another bathroom becomes a problem. If your community has an HOA, confirm any rules on dumpsters or work hours before this step.
5. Complete
We walk the finished bathroom with you, explain how to care for the materials, take care of any closeout items and hand the room back.
Your part: test everything. Run the shower, the fan, the heated floor if you have one, every light and every sink, and point out anything that needs attention during the walkthrough.
